I originally bought this as a father and son project. My son
was 13 and I thought a 2-3 year project of restoring this would be a great idea.
Notice I said "I thought"! It seems my son thought restoration was a BAD idea
and the first thing he wanted to do was tear out all the original cloth covered
wiring. Then he wanted to change it over to 12 volt so a "killer stereo" could
be installed. My Ideas were vastly different and so it looks like the
restoration will be a father and father project. (Maybe Matt, my son, will
"repair" Ole' Blue)

This vehicle was purchased at a local estate auction. It had
been sitting in a garage for the last 13 years. The gentleman that owned it,
purchased it in 1966. According to the gentleman's son the vehicle had always
been kept in a garage. Examination of the sheet metal bears out that claim.
